Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Backlash of the Crimson Moon Gate, Respect from the Strong Powers
“Do you know what this is?” Xiao Cangtian picked up the tail end, reverted to human form, and asked in a deep voice.
“I’ve read some ancient texts before and know a bit,” Ye Feng nodded, then began to bluff. “If I’m not mistaken, this is the Crimson Moon Gate, leading to some unknown place.”
Upon hearing this, everyone became interested.
“Sect Master Ye, do you know what this unknown place might be?” the Rhinoceros Heavenly Emperor asked.
“I don’t know,” Ye Feng shook his head.
It was best to reveal only half the truth in such matters.
If he revealed everything, he would be labeled as “knowing too much,” making him an easy target for others.
Then, Ye Feng added, “The Crimson Moon Gate has its own Formation, and any attack against it will backfire. Moreover, it should be a Four-Star Transcendent Spirit Treasure. With our power, we can’t break it.”
“I’ll ask a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint from the Holy Land to take action, and they will surely be able to break it,” Yuzhu stood up and said.
There were a double-digit number of Quasi-Saints in the Jiaoyang Holy Land, among them, quite a few who had survived the World-Ending Heavenly Tribulation four times.
They were very strong.
If they took action, they should be able to shatter the Crimson Moon Gate.
“It won’t break,” Ye Feng shook his head again.
“Why not?”
The crowd questioned again.
Ye Feng pointed to the eternally suspended Hundredfold Crimson Moon in the sky, explaining, “Now that the sun has vanished and the Crimson Moon is high, endless Power of the Crimson Moon descends, causing the power of the Crimson Moon Gate to surge. Perhaps, it would take a real Saint Realm Powerhouse to break it.”
“Is it that serious?” The others were shocked.
Ye Feng nodded, “I’m guessing, not certain.”
“How about we all try together?” Xiao Cangtian looked around, his gaze settling on Ye Feng, “Including you, our dozens of top fighters combined are no weaker than a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint. I refuse to believe we can’t break this accursed Crimson Moon Gate.”
Ye Feng just shrugged his shoulders, saying nothing.
The others exchanged glances, all deciding to take action.
“Return of Ten Thousand Swords!”
Wu Xuan, from the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone, was the first to draw his sword.
A vast number of sword lights appeared in mid-air, instantly forming a super giant sword a hundred miles long, bringing down a terrifying force as it cleaved.
“Furious Ancient Seal!”
The Rhinoceros Heavenly Emperor from the Broken Heaven Mountain Range let out a furious roar, and behind him appeared a hundred-mile-high colossal rhinoceros, stepping on the void, its head touching the sky, turning into a treasured seal that smashed towards the Crimson Moon Gate.
“Thorn Pierce!”
A Vine Heavenly Emperor from the Thorny Forbidden Area also cast a spell.
She spread her ten fingers and countless golden vines pierced through the void, converging into a golden spiral long spear that thrust towards the Crimson Moon Gate.
“Zodiac Sword!”
Yuzhu also took action.
Behind her, countless earthen-yellow auras converged into a long sword that slashed through the air.
“Hunyuan Stick!”
Hu Feifei was also making her move.
Besides them, none of the dozens of top fighters present were dragging their feet; all were unleashing their powerful Divine Skills.
They timed their attacks, not moving too early or too late, but intending to synchronize with the spells of the others, aiming to hit the Crimson Moon Gate at the same moment.
“Divine Fist!”
Seeing that everyone else had taken action, Ye Feng no longer held back.
“Divine Fist” was originally a boxing technique included in Qiao Jiaxi’s “Ancient God Body Refining Technique”; after being improved by Ye Feng’s Heart of Wisdom, it became a powerful Divine Skill.
Boom!
Ye Feng gathered all his momentum, causing flames of golden fire to burn on his body. His hair turned to pure gold and wildly danced in mid-air. The light he emitted instantly overshadowed the entire scene.
“Such a powerful aura!”
“Ye Feng has indeed hidden his strength.”
“This guy!”
Seeing this, everyone’s expression changed drastically, and they couldn’t help but admire Ye Feng’s terrifying power.
Even someone as strong as Xiao Cangtian felt a sense of powerlessness.
“Now!”
But Ye Feng threw a straight punch, a terrifying golden spiral airflow blasting out with his fist, turning into a giant golden fist phantom in mid-air that even emitted an ancient and holy aura.
“Kill!”
Other people also coordinated with Ye Feng, synchronizing with him, as all their attacks smashed into the same spot on the Crimson Moon Gate at almost the exact same moment, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.
Boom!
The void collapsed, and momentum thundered explosively.
Around a hundred-thousand-mile radius, the land was blasted into a depression stretching down ten thousand miles, forming a dreadful pit.
“Too terrifying!”
“Are these people trying to pierce through the Shenzhou Continent?”
The Nine Swords Quasi-Emperor happened to arrive at the scene and couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement, feeling as if he was facing doomsday.
The joint strike of Ye Feng and the others could kill a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a red sword light appeared in the center of the pit, slashing at everyone, causing all the top-level fighters to be on high alert.
Everyone fixed their gaze to see more clearly.
They saw the Crimson Moon Gate floating above the pit, completely unscathed, with countless red sword lights slashing in all directions, presenting a terrifying force.
“Quick, dodge!”
Ye Feng took the lead, swinging his fist to block the red sword that was slashing towards him, emitting a clang.
“Ah!”
Hu Feifei was also struck by a sword light, her body nearly torn apart, almost splitting into two.
But quickly, she devoured this energy, stored a great amount of Upgrade Energy, and the sword marks on her body rapidly healed.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 26%]
After absorbing this sword strike, her energy increased by 1%, bringing her even closer to advancing to a One-Star Transcendent Spiritual Treasure.
“In the future, we can have the princess come here to grind for energy!”
Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.
Rip!
Others were also hit by the backlash.
Even Xiao Cangtian, who was as strong as could be, was split into two, and the injury caused by the Power of the Crimson Moon was so severe it could not heal easily.
The others fared even worse.
Luckily, all who were present were top-level fighters with exceptional life-saving methods. Though they were all heavily injured by the counterattack from the Crimson Moon Gate, they ultimately held onto their lives and were not in mortal danger.
“I said before, it can’t be broken.”
Ye Feng shook his hands, shattering the remaining Crimson Moon sword lights, emerging without a single scratch, faring much better than those One-Turn Quasi-Saints.
Among those present, everyone but Ye Feng had sustained injuries.
“How can he be so strong?”
The crowd stared at Ye Feng, noticing his body ablaze with golden flames, his long golden hair wildly dancing as if he was a peak Berserker God, giving off an invincible air.
“Everyone, the Crimson Moon Gate cannot be broken. Now, what we need to guard against is the appearance of top-level fighters like Xuan Zhong from within, and we must stop them,” said Ye Feng.
His suggestion was echoed by everyone present.
“Right, whoever dares to show up will be decisively slain without mercy!”
“Eradicate these menaces of the Celestial Clan to give back our Shenzhou Continent a vast and orderly universe!”
Top-level fighters from the Nine Great Holy Lands and the Nine Great Mountain Ranges were filled with righteous indignation.
“Always so quick with words. When it was time to fight Xuan Zhong, not one of you could stand up to him,” Xiao Cangtian snorted coldly.
“Humph! You were the one who got beaten up by Xuan Zhong the worst, not us. If it weren’t for Sect Master Ye identifying Xuan Zhong’s weakness, we might have all died here,” retorted someone.
“Exactly.”
Top-level fighters from various powers spoke out in turn.
“How dare you!” Xiao Cangtian said angrily, flinging his sleeves, “With the Hundredfold Crimson Moon descending and the Crimson Moon Gate open for extended periods, catastrophe is upon us. I think you’d better go back and enhance your strengths sooner rather than later. Farewell!”
Unable to contend with those present, he decisively chose to flee.
“Sect Master Ye, until we meet again!”
“Sect Master Ye, if you ever come to the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land, just mention the name ‘Wan Jianyi’ and no one will dare to stop you.”
“Gentlemen, until next time!”
Top fighters from various forces bid their farewells with clasped hands, then dispersed, returning to their respective powers to recover from their injuries.
“Princess, let’s go as well!”
Ye Feng casually set up dozens of prohibitions to cover the massive pit and the Crimson Moon Gate above it.
Afterward, he tore through the void and left the Cangqing Forbidden Zone with Hu Feifei.
